Ike & Tina Turner - Delilah's Power - Album

Delilah’s Power

Album / Single (1977)

Explore

Delilah’s Power was released one year after Ike & Tina separated, although the title track was already a single two years before while Ike & Tina were on tour in Europe. It includes many songs written by Tina Turner, some covers of popular hits and a different version of their 1970 hit single I Want To Take You Higher. The front cover is very futuristic and shows only Tina, while the pictures from Ike & Tina on the back cover were photographed by Norman Seeff. The album was originally released in 1977 and re-released after Tina’s comeback 1985 in Europe. It’s also part of the double CD Delilah’s Power / Airwaves from 2011.

Single

The title track Delilah’s Power was the only single from the album in Europe and Australia, to promote the duos 1975 tour, which started in London in October. In North America, it was only released as a promotional disc for radio stations. Ike & Tina promoted it live at some TV-Shows in Europe like the German Musikladen, but never performed it in their concerts. It’s the very last single from Ike & Tina before Tina left Ike on July 2, 1976.
